just ordered an alu case for the Imate PDA2K/Qtek9090/MDAIII - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories

I just ordered an alu case for my PDA2K LINK TO ALU CASE , for 24 euros it's not too much either
Because I ordered the JAM yesterday at that shop too, and they have to ship it from the Netherlands to Belgium, I told them to send it together with the JAM next week.
I'll post some pics for you guys next week...
edit: just saw they got a lot off types of cases for the PDA2K...
Just wish they had one for the JAM too :-(

that looks nice, do u kno if there are more pics available and pics from u would be great... do they ship to the US?

They ship everywhere in the world. Cause they have to ship it for me from the Netherlands to Belgium (not as far as US :lol: ), but I don't know what the shipping fee will be for US, you might send them a mail at [email protected] and ask them.
As soon as I got it (can be any moment) I'll send you some pics.

I just received the same case from Brando (HKG) and it is simply too bulky (I have cases made by the same company for the Treo 600 & HP 2215), but the one for the PDA2K is way too thick IMHO. The upside is that it affords very good protection while allowing good amount of button access.

Would this case be much more like it?!
Anyone can help me to choose between the upper one of VW_ELM of this one:
http://www.innopocket.com/web/showProductDetail.asp?ID=126

The innopocket one is of new design (flip) but it definitely looks a lot more fitted than the one with flip on the side.

So, the other one (Brando of PDAir) is very large fitted around the device? That should mean that it is not very usefull!
Is it also not usefull, because the device isn''t very easy to slide out?
Can anybody state if the case not from innopocket is usefull and good fitting? Or isn't it?

Don't know about these aluminium cases - they don't have anywhere for my credit cards or licence. I think I'll stick to the leather case by Krusell.

Any loss of phone/Wi-Fi reception with the Alu case on?
Hi!
Have you noticed any decrease of phone or Wi-Fi reception with the Alu case on, as was the problem with the XDAII Alu cases?
Thank you!
Chris

Anyone has the metal case already? Was wondering about some experiences!!!
Anyone has some experience with Innopocket? Was wondering how long shipping would take!

I always carry my qtek 9090 in my pants, I don't want a whole case for my qtek for it adds to much thickness. What I am looking for is some sort of plastic lit to protect the screen, something like the lit that came standard with the iPaq 38xx / 39xx, does anyone know if this already exists for the qtek 9090?

i ordered the one from http://www.innopocket.com
it is aluminum, and has a clear plastic front.

I'm thinking about getting one of these aluminum cases too and was wondering the same thing. Do these effect reception?
I'm more concerned about phone reception than Wi-Fi. I currently have an aluminum case for my Toshiba e755 PPC, and it hasn't really hurt my wifi reception too much (then again, I'm usually within 15 feet of my router).

Wow, I really like that case (with the clear plastic front). Couple questions...
* I noticed it has a hole in the back for the camera, can you take pictures okay with the case on?
* Can you pull the keyboard out without problems with the case on?
* The case I have for my Toshiba e755 left a few scratch marks, did this one do the same to the blue angel?
* Any complaints about the case?
Thanks!

Looks like there's a problem with the microphone hole.

There is a problem with the mic as in no hole at all. You either have to open the case to speak or drill a small hole as I have done to remedy the problem. I hope the mfg will correct this issue for others.

Hi Siliconaddict,
Refering to the Nutshell case for your QTEK 9090, is it hard to pull the unit out of the case? Will your thumbpad slides out while u're pulling it out of the case?
I'm very interested in getting 1 for my XDA IIs.

Well i am looking for a cese to but can't decide yet what i want exactly. I had a palm Tungsten T and bought a piel frama leather case for it. And it was great quality.

case for PDA2k
I bought the Krussell Case from the Imate store out of Saudi Arabia.
I suggest the Multidapt product line, this way you can switch out the clips that go on you belt or your pocket.
Well i don't think that case would do for me. I am realy intressed in that pielframa case. But one thing i worry is that if u carrie SD cards in it.
Are those things not pressing on the screen of your MDAIII.
I don't want scratches on my screen. I am looking for some good screen proctetors to.
But first the case.

The link that Ishnohiwa provided, seems to point to a Piel Frama.
Personally I've had a Krusell Multidapt with my o2 XDA II for months and never lost one SD card (I always carry my SD 1GB and Sandisk WiFi 0MB wherever I go). That's why I'll be sticking with Krusell when I get my o2 XDA IIs in the next couple of days.
In terms of screen protectors, I've had a chance to try many but none can match the eXiM Screen Protectors!!They rock!
Here's a link to a review on the Exim Screen Protectors on TheGadgeteer and another one by my good buddy Mike on Mtekk.

Best PDA2K case (4 links to current cases)

BEST Case for PDA2K/XDAIII ?
I'm having hard time deciding as to what would
be the best case for my PDA2K. The case that comes with it
is very uncofortable and hard to take the pda quickly out of it
when you have a call.
Up till now, I've found 4 cases that were designed
especially for the i-mate. I would have preferred an
aluminium hightech looking case as opposed to elegant leather
case which kinda 'hides' the gadget, but all I found was leather
cases. I also don't know what would be more confortable the flip
or the book style type.
speically built and suited for the PDA2K but there is'tas well, as my preferance i

outz,
When are you expecting your Innopocket case? I have a few questions:
1. Are the application buttons above the D-Pad accessible through the case? It looks like they will be hidden.
2. How is your WiFi reception? Talk is that WiFi in general with the Blue Angel isn't very good, but I'd think putting the device in a "metal box" will make it even worse.
Keep us posted.
Thanks!
I didn't think about the Aluminium case will block WiFi making the poor reception of the PDA2K even poorer (can it get worse than that? lol)
My guess is that an aluminium case may make the WiFi even poorer, I think I'll go a leather case as this seems to be the only viable choice.

That's what I'm thinking. I was hoping that Vaja (http://www.vajacases.com) would make a semi-rigid leather case for the Blue Angel as they did for the XDA II, but when I emailed their support group, I was told they will not be making a case for the Blue Angel at all.

Nice! I'm still waiting for mine.
I just received my innopocket aluminum case. It's great! custom cutouts for the blinking leds, 5-way pad, answer/hangup, speaker, mic, ir, camera button, record, volume, power button, headphones, reset, and even a slider to cover up/uncover the camera when you need it. You are able to flip the front door upwards and slide out the kboard when you need it.

PDAir are now offering a flip-type black leather case ... 1st I've found.
Probably not the highest of looks - I prefer Covertec myself - but cheap enough (USD$28) and will have to do until the real thing comes along (I always wanted to say that )
I just got my o2 o2(o2 orbit2) yesterday, it fits krusell Orbit Case for HTC3300 perfectly - except the hole on the back doesnt fit camera :-( but anyway i didnt buy it to use it as regular camera. So far i'm happy.

Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and goy the Pdair flip case last week.
very good and came the next day after ordering
Only issue is the lights on the front are hidden by the case, but for me thats minor.
All other holes for buttons, 2 x camera etc are ok.
Would buy another.
Cost £15 with delivery
The case for the Moto-Q actually works quite well. I got the one that's made by Motorola.

I tried it in the Artemis aluminium case from Pdair and it fits but is a little tight to close the front once inside, camera hole is wrong but otherwise this is the style of case I want, its saved my Arte from many a fall, the case looks battered but the device is still as new - Mike

There is silicone case for polaris ?
I've been very happy with the Bugatti cases I bought for both my XDA Mini S and original Orbit...
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/html/index.php?lang=EN
Bugatti don't offer a case for the Orbit 2/Polaris yet, so I mailed them to ask when it will be available.
Their marketing department told me that it's not available in Germany yet, doh! So I sent them a link to the German O2 site, I await their response with anticipation...
Update: "The XDA Orbit 2 is available in combination with a long-term contract. The device without a contract is extremely expensive. The estimated amount of sold cases does not justify the expense at the moment. Hopefully we will have other possibilities to receive an original device. Please sign up for the newsletter. This seems to be the best to do at the moment."

[Q] help looking for a case

I need some help looking for a case. I would like something folio style, but all of the pictures of the M1, Px cases look like they stand very upright. I am looking for a case that will lean back to allow it to sit and use as a keyboard stand. Anyone have any ideas for me?

CLIP
I got a CLIP from it2steve's web store and it works as exactly as you are wanting it to. It comes with 3 grooves on one side so you can have the gTab in 3 viewing angles but if you let it all the way down as shown in the attached photo it's perfect for typing.
As a new GTablet owner I was looking for a good case as well. The Clip looks sweet but it seems to be sold out from it2steve's store.
Anyone know where I can score this sweet looking case?

As an M1 owner who's used it for a couple of weeks now, I can tell you that the magnet issue, like most things on the Internet, is blown way out of proportion. I use the tablet daily at work, have used it shopping for replacement flooring/furniture for our flooded gameroom, and sitting on the reclining sofa playing Angry Birds. I've never had a problem with the magnets reducing screen responsiveness or "freaking out". My only complaint is that over time, the GTab tends to settle further down in the case, half-hiding the camera and all but covering the ambient light sensor. If you don't plan on propping it up on a desk as often as I do, it makes a wonderful case.
M1 Case and G Tab Screen
I got an M1 case on Monday so I've had it for 3 days now. The fit, feel and look of the case are all excellent so far on mine, however, the it does mess with the screen. The longer it stays in the case the worse it gets. I have done tests in and out of the case, putting to sleep or not, rebooting or not and now have no doubt it is the case but I am not sure if its actually the magnets or not. It could just be the case itself touching the edges of the screen all day. In any case, (some pun intended) the longer it stays in the case, the harder you have to press the outside portions of the screen to get it to react. Mine eventually gets to the point where you cannot press hard enough to get the keys on the keyboard to function. When this happens I put it to sleep, pull it out of the case, wake it up and it works like new again. I will probably be investing in a black clip myself in the near future. This could just be a problem with my particular Gtab and it may not effect others at all but that is my short bit of experience with the M1 Case.
There's a few black clip cases in stock at it2steve's web store now.

For anyone who doesn't want to spend $50-$60 on a case for a $300 item, WI Global Technology has cheap alternatives. One with clips, one with elastic.
I got the one with clips. For $16 - It's OK.
All ports are accessible.
It's vinyl - NOT leather.
The covers extend about 1/16th" beyond the GTab - just enough protection (for me, anyay)
As you can see. the kickstand angle is about 75 degrees - it would probably be better if it were more like 60.
For $16 delivered, you get what you pay for (maybe a bit more... ymmv).

Hmmm been using the M1 for a few weeks now. Never noticed this magnet issue. I know magnets can mess with hard drives but never heard of it messing with an LCD. Doesn't the ipad 2 smart cover have like 70 magnets?

Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.
I havnt heard of that case series, im waiting for the Commuter Case by Otterbox.. Still hasnt been released.. :/

Have you received your TPU case? I ordered one yesterday but I got an email today from the vendor saying that they just found out they wouldn't fit AT&T phones and they refunded me. Now I'm not seeing any TPU ones on ebay.

I ordered mine off eBay 2 days ago and got the same message, he also gave me a full refund. Time to start saving pennies for an otterbox!

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

Dropped my phone this morning, no damage but I decided I couldn't wait around for a case I actually liked and ordered one of those foryourcell ones. I'll post some pictures and write up a little review when I receive it.

I will be gone all week for work, so you will probably have yours first. Will look for your post.
Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

Thanks for the info. Can you, please, check that there are cut outs for both mics (the top and the bottom)? Thanks.

There are cutouts for both the bottom and top mics.
Can you please take some pictures when you have some free time? The only picture online is the one just showing the back.
What about power button notification light?

The quality isn't great, but it should give you an idea.
Let me know if you need something clearer and I'll get out my DSLR.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?
